Letting MigraineMe fill in the wizard for you

If you have written or spoken a description of your migraine, MigraineMe can read it and fill in most of the rest of the wizard for you. You then just check what it picked, remove anything wrong, and move on. This usually saves a lot of tapping.

This sits inside step 2 of the wizard, Paint the picture.

These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.

What "Find matches" does

After you type or speak something into the box on Paint the picture, tap the Find matches button below it.

MigraineMe reads what you wrote and looks for:

1. How severe the pain was, on a scale of 1 to 10.
2. Where on your head it hurt.
3. The symptoms you mentioned (nausea, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and so on).
4. Any medicines you took.
5. Any triggers you noticed (poor sleep, wine, stress).
6. Any reliefs you tried (dark room, cold cloth, sleep).

These will appear ready-filled on the screens that come after, so you do not have to tap them in yourself.

How to use it

1. On the Paint the picture screen, type or speak your description.
2. Tap Find matches.
3. The button changes to Analysing… for a few seconds.
4. When it is done, a line appears saying something like Found 6 matches — added to your log:.

Checking what it picked

Below that message, a list of small coloured tags appears. Each tag shows something MigraineMe spotted, colour-coded by type: pain and severity in red, symptoms in pink, triggers in orange, medicines in blue, reliefs in green.

Some tags will be in italic letters. Those are MigraineMe's suggestions, not things you said outright. For example, if you said "wine last night" it might suggest this was a trigger. A note below the tags reminds you: "Italic items are suggestions — remove any that don't apply".

Removing something wrong

If MigraineMe got something wrong, no problem.

1. Find the wrong tag in the list.
2. Tap the small cross on that tag.
3. It disappears. That item will not show up on the later screens.

You can remove as many as you like.

Important: this is help, not gospel

MigraineMe is doing its best to read your words, but it is not a doctor and it is not always right. You are always in charge.

1. You can remove any tag you do not agree with.
2. You can change anything on the later screens.
3. You can add items the AI missed.
4. Nothing is final until you tap Save Log at the very end.

If Find matches does not find anything useful, you will see the message No matches found — you can add items manually in the next steps. That is fine. Just tap Next and fill in the screens by hand.

Moving on

1. Once you are happy with the tags, tap the purple Next button at the bottom right.
2. You will go through each step in turn, with the items already filled in.

If nothing happens when you tap Find matches

1. Check that the big box has some text in it. The matching needs something to read.
2. The basic matching works from a built-in word list on your phone. Premium users also get a smarter AI pass on top, which needs an internet connection — if you are offline you may simply get fewer matches.
